    Hate myself for this but it's probably down to the phrase 'sneaker head' it's snuck into my vocabulary.

    I actually have a go at people who do the same as I've done.

    But yeah production wise I think the video is quite tight, whether you're interested in the content or not. Hoping to expand on this and make some further material

    Must. Not. React.
    Stan Smith's are cracking and have made a comeback this year, looking to get myself some of the blue pair from the recent suede pack

    I picked up a black pair of Nike running shoes last night... That's as far as I go with them. I'm not even sure they have a name!

    Two observations.

    Get rid of the sign from behind you. Don't want plod knocking on your door.

    They're really loud, but they might just work (with the right clothing). Very summer too. You have my approval to wear these. Go in peace.

    My original '94 Jordan XI's. These are basketball shoes, not "Trainers".
    What a terrible word... Why? Doesn't this presume people don't actually DO the things they are doing in them? Training is not usually what's done with them. And assuming training is done in them, training for what exactly? These shoes look the way they do not because of training, but because of hours and hours of full court and half court basketball between the years 1994 and 1997. Not training, playing.

    These were the very best basketball shoes I've ever played in and I've played in an awful lot of them.

    In American current usage, everyone knows what is meant by sneaker, but no one really uses that word for shoes anymore. Tennis shoes is still used interchangeably for nearly all types of athletic shoes, but for the most part, you need to be more specific about what kind of shoes you mean to be accurate.

    Basketball shoes
    Running shoes
    Futsal shoes
    Skate shoes
    And yes, tennis shoes
    Cross-trainers mean shoes that perform multiple functions, like a shoe you can run in that has elements of a court shoe for basketball or tennis, but isn't specific to any sport.
    It's all very complicated now innit, but sneaker is too generic nowadays.

    The shoe I wear nearly everyday outside of work is a white Adidas Samba, an indoor soccer shoe. And I play soccer indoors with them!

    My current basketball shoe:

    I take it back... I do some training in my Sambas after all: liver training.

    As with most films these days, not enough swearing violence or nudity. Fed up of all this PC rubbish.

    Yup, never say your own video is ****e. It's not. Leave that for others to say. Think positively. And leave out the cap, you're better looking without it.

    A few suggestions for you Don. (Still haven't watched this yet, but will do soon)

    Get a hot bird to dance in the background.
    Lose the hat - It does actually look really stupid.
    Consider plastic surgery.
    Is there anyway you can fit that goal against Leicester in there?
    Consider maybe promoting an ethnic shoe - You don't want to be seen as a racist or have a jihad on your head.
    What kind of shoe would a football casual wear?
    Apparently you used the word sneaker? Don, as far as I know you are 100% English right? Then don't use the bloody word sneaker and try to insult the french at least once.

    This is just my 5 second feedback, hope it helps.

    I didn't really plan what I was wearing, was wearing a cap due to not having gone anywhere yet so hadn't fixed my hair. I literally turned on the camera when my parcel arrived...obviously I was wrong.

    I'll try and fit Deeney's goal in there somewhere though.

    But yes i'm annoyed at myself for using the word sneaker and will try harder next time
